An Airdrie man dressed in fishnet stockings and high heels was caught in a park performing a solo sex act over a lewd magazine he’d placed on his car bonnet.

Scott Paterson, of Gibb Street, Chapelhall, appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court last week charged with committing the act of public indecency after being spotted by police in Strathclyde Park last October.

The 29-year-old was busted by patrolling cops as he stood with his manhood exposed in front of his car in black high-heeled shoes and fishnets.

The court heard the officers were travelling in a marked police vehicle in Spine Road, Strathclyde Park, Motherwell, on the night of October 9, 2012, when they saw Paterson standing outside his car while the engine was running and the headlights dipped.

Paterson could be seen committing the offence with his right hand while gazing at the pornographic magazine.

On seeing the police vehicle, the accused – who lives with his mother and her partner – was said to have taken “an item from the bonnet” and made his way into the driver’s seat of the Suzuki.

The officers then pulled-up alongside him, whereupon they discovered Paterson was also wearing a floral skirt as he attempted to cover himself with a pair of jeans.
